Description

  The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly to a structure that restricts a suction grille from being accidentally dropped during opening and closing, and can be easily attached and detached with a simple configuration.

  In a conventional air conditioner, for example, when the suction grill is connected to the lower panel with a hinge, the suction grill is prevented from being accidentally dropped when the suction grill is opened, and the rotation fulcrum is lowered to lower the lower panel, etc. As a ceiling-embedded air conditioner that can be thinned to improve appearance and prevent interference with furniture, it has fulcrum pins and fulcrum holes that fit the bottom panel and suction grille together. It has been disclosed that the hinge member is connected by a hinge, the hinge member on the bottom panel side is provided so as to be slidable in the axial direction of the fulcrum pin, and the fulcrum pin is removed from the fulcrum hole by sliding the hinge member (for example, (See Patent Document 1).

However, in the above-described ceiling-embedded air conditioner, the suction grill is prevented from being accidentally dropped when the suction grill is opened, and the hinge member on the lower panel is slidable in the axial direction of the fulcrum pin. Since the fulcrum pin is removed from the fulcrum hole by sliding the hinge member, the structure becomes complicated, and it is necessary to remove the fulcrum pin from the fulcrum hole by sliding when removing the suction grille, which is particularly unfamiliar. For the user, the workability is poor and the handling is inconvenient. Therefore, it has been desired that the pivotal support portion of the suction grill has a simple configuration and can be easily attached and detached.

The back side perspective view of this, (B) is principal part sectional drawing, (C) is B arrow view shown by (A).

  As shown in the figure, an air conditioner according to the present invention is provided with a main body 1 having a suction port 2, a main panel 3 attached to the main body 1, and the main panel 3. A suction grill 4 pivotally supported, a blowout panel a attached to the blowout outlet b provided in the main body 1, and a side panel c attached to the side surface of the main body 1. It becomes the composition which becomes.

  The pivot portions 5 on which the suction grille 4 is pivotally provided are provided on both sides of the main body 1 and the suction grille 4 corresponding thereto, and are constituted by a frame-like hinge 7 and a hook 6 corresponding thereto. At the same time, the hook 6 is provided with a restricting means for restricting the hinge 7 from being unintentionally detached.

  The pivot support 5 is configured such that the hook 6 is provided on both sides of the suction port 2 of the main body 1, while the hinge 7 is provided on the suction grill 4 corresponding to both sides of the suction port 2. Alternatively, the hinge 7 may be provided on both sides of the suction port 2 of the main body 1, while the hook 6 may be provided on the suction grill 4 corresponding to both sides of the suction port 2. .

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 as the first embodiment, the pivotal support 5 is provided on both sides of the main body 1 and has a hook 6 having a step portion 6a that is bent outward with an upper portion opened. And a frame-like hinge 7 provided on the suction grill 4 corresponding to the hook 6. By engaging the hinge 7 with the hook 6, the suction grill 4 is pivotally supported.
